Sudanese army ends RSF''s two-year siege of El Obeid

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army said on Sunday it had broken a nearly two-year siege imposed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El Obeid, capital of North Kordofan state, linking its forces advancing from White Nile state with those already stationed inside the city.
In recent weeks, the army's ''Al-Sayyad'' mobile force, largely composed of soldiers from the 16th Infantry Division based in Nyala, South Darfur, seized Um Rawaba and al-Rahd, then advanced through the al-Ghar and Kordofan Mountains to El Obeid, the 5th Infantry Division's headquarters.
''Thanks to God, our forces on the al-Sayyad axis succeeded in opening the road to El Obeid and joining forces with the 'Lions of the Camel Corps,''' Brigadier Nabil Abdallah, the Sudanese army spokesperson, said in a statement, officially declaring the end of the 22-month siege.
Army soldiers released video footage of the moment troops from White Nile state met with those inside El Obeid. The 5th Division commander welcomed the arriving soldiers at the city's entrance.
El Obeid, Um Rawaba, and al-Rahd residents celebrated the siege's end.
The RSF siege caused a humanitarian crisis in El Obeid, with severe shortages of essential goods due to restrictions on aid and commercial convoys.
